Why is marijuana called a gateway drug?
Other major theorized gateway drugs include alcohol and tobacco. Please be fair with your answers, as cannabis isn’t the only drug that is THEORIZED to be a gateway drug according to gateway drug THEORY. It has only been posed by few studies, and there are new studies every day to refute it. There is no hard evidence of cannabis being or not being a gateway drug, or if even drugs can be gateway drugs. Think for yourself before accepting what some news-educated scaremonger wants you to believe. The likely explanation for gateway drug theory is that since alcohol and tobacco are the most readily available, followed by cannabis, that they are what most of the drug-using populace start on, whether they advance to harder drugs or not.
